httpd Documentation/Code Discrepancies

Using MQX 3.8 with RTCS, I'm having timeout issues with my hosted http server.

Digging through the code, I've found that in several cases, the #defines in httpd_cnfg.h are not actually used, and values are hard-coded into httpd.c, that are an order of magnitude shorter than the "defaults" called out in the RTCS User Guide.

From httpd_cnfg.h, the following are unused:

HTTPD_TIMEOUT_REQ_MS

HTTPD_TIMEOUT_SEND_MS

From httpd.c, the following do not match the documentation "default":

OPT_SEND_TIMEOUT - Doc "Default": 4 Mins (240,000 ms), Hardcoded Value: 500 ms

OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT - Doc "Default": 480,000 ms, Hardcoded Value: 5000 ms

I know that I can override these in my implementation, however what should they be? The values are so different that I question if either is right, or if an engineer just randomly picked numbers. It's really unfortunate that issues like this exist. I would have never looked into this had I not of received a direct customer complaint about our server not working over very latent connections.
